Blaise Diagne International Airport (DSS), located roughly 50–60 km east of downtown Dakar, serves as Senegal’s main international gateway and typically handles long-haul and regional carriers as well as national airline services. Expect a mix of full-service and budget airlines; fares can be competitive for West Africa connections but vary by season. Transfer options include shuttle buses and private taxis taking about 45–75 minutes depending on traffic, with shared shuttles or buses often costing a fraction of taxi fares; private transfers and car hires are available. The airport is relatively modern with basic passenger amenities, though the distance from central Dakar can make trips slightly longer and more costly compared with older city airports.

Dubai is served primarily by Dubai International (DXB), a major global hub that handles most international and premium carriers including Emirates and flydubai, and by Al Maktoum International (DWC), which often caters to budget and cargo traffic and is developing as a secondary long‑haul option. DXB sits about 10–15 km from the city center and is reachable by Dubai Metro (Red Line) in roughly 15–25 minutes, taxis in 15–30 minutes and airport buses; fares vary from low single‑digit dirham metro fares to taxi rides that can be moderate to high depending on distance. DWC is farther out — around 40–60 km — and transfer times can be 40–60+ minutes by car with fewer public transport links and occasional shuttle services. DXB is typically more convenient for direct international connections, a wide range of lounges and shopping, but can be busier and pricier; DWC can offer cheaper fares or less congestion for some flights but may involve longer transfers and fewer amenities.

The cost of a one-way flight from Dakar to Dubai ranges from $433 (November 2025) to $495 (December 2025). On average, the ticket price is about $464–$495.
